Del Valle Regional Park
Location Description

Nestled in a picturesque oak studded valley just outside of Livermore, Del Valle Regional Park is one of the crown jewels of the East Bay Regional Park District. Winding one's way through the bucolic Livermore Wine Country, the placid waters of Lake Del Valle appear almost as a mirage among the fluted golden hills. Located just a short drive from San Francisco, Del Valle and the surrounding public lands offer a peaceful retreat from the urban bustle.

This year-round recreation destination offers something for every outdoors enthusiast, from family friendly activities such as camping, picnicking, hiking, and swimming to more adventurous pursuits like mountain biking, backpacking, and kayaking.

With a temperate climate and warm waters, Lake Del Valle is the perfect place to learn to kayak or paddle board. Miles of pristine shoreline and abundant wildlife make for memorable watersport adventures. Lucky paddlers might spot majestic Bald Eagles soaring overhead or fishing for trout. Or try your hand at catching your own trout! Del Valle is stocked regularly with a variety of sport fish and Del Valle makes a great place to learn the ropes.
